SmartGit/Hg 4 and Docky in Ubuntu 12.10

Since the first time I started to use Ubuntu as a primary operating system on my work laptop, I liked the possibility of endless customization possibilities I could make in the OS to have the UI match my preferences. Although I trust UX engineers from Canonical to do the work for me in most cases, sometimes you like to use few things differently or simply try new cool widget in your day to day work.

One major customization that I've started to use is dock at the bottom or the screen. It keeps my most-used applications and aggregates their windows (when they are running). This functionality is of course inspired by great dock present in OS X systems.

I've used AWN in previous versions of Ubuntu, quite happily except few quirks, but in my newest 12.10 release, I've switched to Docky. I came across it on some Internet forum where I was looking for solutions to my issues with AWN in freshly installed system.
